Interesting Little Free Library

This picture looks like cover art for a children’s novel


Via the pics subreddit.  I kind of liked this snarky comment: "It's like a house of horrors for trees. Inside the corpse of their former comrade are the processed remnants of their treebrothers and treesisters."
Sharalee Howard is the artist who created this epic Little Free Library inside a more than 100-year-old cottonwood tree stump outside her home in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. Howard was inspired when her family decided to remove most of the tree after branches began to fall. The core of the tree was starting to rot, and she felt inspired to create one inside the stump that remained from the tree. The library features a swinging glass door, steps, and interior and exterior lights.
Gif of this library here.  Little Free Library home [75,000 registered so far].

This is why you don't shine a laser in someone's eye

by noreply@blogger.com (Minnesotastan)
"A 9-year-old boy was brought by his parents to our ophthalmology clinic for evaluation of decreased vision in his left eye. Visual acuity in the left eye was 20/100, as compared with 20/20 in the right eye. Funduscopic examination of the left eye revealed a large macular hole with a hypopigmented atrophic area inferiorly (Panel A). Optical coherence tomography confirmed the full-thickness macular hole.

The child reported playing with a green laser pointer and repeatedly gazing into the laser beam... The patient’s vision has remained unchanged during 18 months of follow-up."
It would be hard to find a more devastating place for the injury than the center of the macula (maybe the optic nerve might be worse).   The article doesn't say how long the exposure lasted, or what the power of the laser was.
